Leaders Wall Art

Leaders wall art puts the people who shaped history back on the wall, with one deliberate anachronism. Each portrait is painted in the manner of an old master, then handed a piece of modern sound equipment.

What's inside the Leaders collection

Heads of state, composers, inventors, and writers: Washington with a reel to reel, Lincoln with a record, Bach at a synthesizer, Beethoven at a mixing desk, Caesar in headphones, Cleopatra with a boombox, Da Vinci with a speaker cabinet, Mozart with a cello and a keyboard, Shakespeare with a tablet. The painting style stays faithful to the period, which is exactly what makes the modern object land.

Where leaders wall art works best

A study, home office, library, or living room suits these best, where a portrait has room to be looked at properly. They also read well in a music room or anywhere a record collection lives. One piece makes a talking point, and a row of three or four builds a proper portrait wall.

Choosing your size and frame

These are portrait format, so they suit the taller wall between two windows or the space above a console. Go larger if the piece is alone on the wall, and keep to one size if you are hanging a set. Every design arrives gallery wrapped on a solid pine frame and ready to hang, with the option to add a floating frame in black, white, or gold.

The print and the frame

Every Seembols piece is printed on organic cotton canvas and gallery wrapped over a solid pine frame fitted with corner wedges, so the canvas stays drum tight and can be re-tensioned over the years instead of sagging. Made in Europe, it arrives ready to hang straight out of the box. Build out the space with our music wall art, stoicism wall art, and typography wall art.
